1750 Series 2 Door Arm Rests

[Shire_GTV]

I'm gonna have to go and look what cards are actually in my car now.

I'm pretty sure, from memory, that they are like the early GT cards although they only have the lower crome strip, not the upper one and they don't have the vertical ribbing shown by tiger in post #13. The cards with the vertical ribbing is what I recall being in Italiansedanman's S1 1750 GTV, although with leather and the vertical patterns actually stitched rather than embosed.

I'll be back with photos tomorrow.

Cheers

Hopefully, there are others more knowledgable about this, but I _think_ the series 2 cars were equipped with both early and late style door panels and arm rests. At least, I've seen numerous photos of series 2 1750 GTV's with both styles. While it may be that the cars with early style panels/arm rests simply had them installed from earlier cars, Max usually does his homework on these cars so the Alfaholics recommendation is probably right. One thing you can look for is whether or not the top part of your panels are embossed. If they are then you probably had the larger, late style arm rests.

I checked my car today. It seems my door cards ARE the ones with the vertical stripes on them. It's just that they are so patched with mold that I failed to notice the stripes underneath.

New door card and handles to be ordered soon.
